Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라 남부 킬달턴 해안의 아드벡은 강렬한 피트 아래 의외의 섬세함을 감춘 전설적인 증류소다. 잔에는 맑은 금빛이 돌고, 1974년 빈티지의 향은 풋풋한 풀과 몰트, 허브의 날것이 강하게 솟다가 물 몇 방울에 스모크와 꿀로 부드러워진다. 20년을 보낸 55.2도 원액은 입안에서 향신료와 허브, 잘 익은 살구의 단맛을 힘차게 그린다. 여운은 피트의 그을음과 은은한 쌉쌀함이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very grassy and malty attack, growing more and more herbal. Extremely strong, hard to enjoy neat. It gets a tad smoky with a few drops of water, with also quite some honey
restaurant Palate
very powerful attack, with some nice notes of spices and herbs beyond the sweetness that make me think of Oban. Some notes of fresh apricot. A good, kind of 'natural' one, too bad the finish gets just a little bitter. 82 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: better than both Keith Moon and Carmine Appice? If you like heavy percussions, perhaps you should have a go at the late Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji doing Flirtation.mp3 (no mourvèdre in there ;-)) Please buy Babatunde's music - and support African music! (and Africa as a whole, while you're at it).
